I was looking at traveling from Watford Junction to Rugby on London Midland, knowing how cheap their advanced fares are, however when I went to National Rail Enquiries to look at fares, I can find trains London Midland, but all of these are Off Peak tickets at the cheapest, as shown here.
However, when I look at fares from London Euston to Rugby, I am able to buy an advance fare (at a cheaper price than from WFJ) as shown here. The 11:46 from EUS gets into WFJ at 12:01, and costs under a third of the price!
Is there a way to get around this, because it seems completely illogical to me. If not, would I be able to buy a fare from EUS and just get on at WFJ without having to pay a penalty fare?
Thanks for any help!
